We see it stated that several con-
tests will come up before the next
Legislature for seats in the House.
We regret this, and trust the gen.
tlemen interested will think better
Of the matter before the lst Of JAN
uary. The voice Of the people
should be supreme and no techni-
calities should be resorted to, to
defeat their sovereign will. The
man who received the highest num-
Der Of votes, fairly and honestly
cast should be seated, no matter
who be is. or what may be his pol
ities, race or color.

We are told the Gulf and Ship
Island Railroad Company has ex-
ecuied a mortgage and recorded it
in the various counties along the
line. Ifthis is coma fde transac-
tiOn, as we hope It is. the company
can devote its energies to building
the road under the very liberal
conditions granted by the State;
without asking anything further
at the hands Of the Legislature,
but ifitis only hedging, before the
assembling Of the newly elected
lawmakers, We may look ont for
the introduction of a bill in the
early part of the session asking for
addition franchise and privileges.
In order to relieve the anxiety Of
some of our especial lsiends on the
west side of the county, we want
to say now that the election is
over, that we will vote for any
proper measure looking TO the
early completion of the road, but
we want and must have guarantees
Of good faith on the part Of the
corporation and we will not be
content with bare promises. Peo-
pie, who intend 10 pay their debts
don't refuse to give their legal
obligations in writing, and rail

CONCENTRATION.

It seems from the tone OF num-
erous letters of congratulation we
have received SINCE the sth, that
the idea had gone abroad in the
State that we would be defeated in
the late contest. We don't know
where our friends got such an i'm
preston, for we knew al the time
there were not Governors, Presi.
dents Of Colleges, Appointees, PEN
itentiary rings and buddios-in-law
enough in this country TO beat the
aWnoL Hat" in Cbickasaw.
Perhaps no man was ever more
maligDed, abused and misreprc-
sented in a canvass, but we could
have endured twice as much lying
and still have been victorious.
And then too we had an advan-
tage Of our most malignant adver-
saries, for we can forgive them and
we will, but we cannot ask the
friends Ofreform and clean, honest
government to forget the outrage
GUS conduct Of which some Of them
we're guilty. And the time may
come in the history Of the county
when the disgruntled Democrat,
the inscriptions sore head and the
vile traducer ofpublio and private
character, would rejoice to have
the veil of Oblivion close between
HIM and his want OF fealty to par.
ty, his indifference to principle
and his treachery to personal OBJ.

Glorious old Houston preserved
her honor unsullied aud her good

overlook the fact that some as true

due mainly TO the sterling yeoman-

The author of the outrageous
story -uublishad in-the Oxford
Falcon concerning Mr.. Lewis llrat-
ton Of this city, deserves the con-
demnution Of every truth loving
citizen. We cannot think a gen.
tleman Of Mr.. Gillispie's character
would have knowingly gwen con-
tenanee to canard intended to
to affect the commercial interest OF
our city as well as ruin the repu-
tation of q good man, hence, we
conclude he has been imposed
upon by q VILLAIN, and we feel sure
the Falcon will make the proper
correction. Mr.. Bratton is highly
esteemed here as a sober, active
industrious man. who Judging from
the amount Of cotton brought to
this market by his old neighbOrs
in Pontotoo and Lafayette counties
enjoys the confidence of the people
among whom he has formerly
lived, and who know him to be
incable of the crime attributed Il
him. It is needless for us to re
peat, there was no truth in the
story OF all.

rnE END oF THE ANARoHIsTs.

Lingg, the Chicago Anarchist
bomb maker, under sentence Of
death cheated the gallows by blow
ing his head of with a Illuminating
cap charged with dynamite on
Thursday last. Fielden a n d
schwab's sentence was commuted
by Gov. Oglesby to imprisonment
for life, and Spies, Engel, Fischer
and Parsons were hanged in the
Chicago jail on Friday about noon.
The condemned men met their ter
rible fate with a stolidity, bravado
or courage which was most aston
ishing. All four scornfully reject
ed spiritual comfort from the min
istry, and three Of the four refused
stimulants offered them just prior
to the execution. Engel was q
great Joker and story teller, and it
is asserted that a physician, who
was acquainted with him, whisper
ed something to him reminding
him Of one Of his jokes while the
deputy sheriff was adjusting the
moose about his neck, and he act
ually lrughed aloud.
The associated press reports the
last words of the murderers as fol-
l0ws:
august Spies was the first of
the four doomed men to make use
of his wits while he could. In a
tone Of intense bitterness Of spirit,
he, the man who wrote the infa-
nous revenge circular, bissed out
between his tightly clenOhed teeth;
s'There will come = time when our
silence will be more powerful tkan
the voices they are strangling to
